What is the difference between a lunar and solor eclipse?

Why does lunar eclipse occurs on a comparatively solar eclipse?
Lunar eclipses occur when Earth is right in between the moon and the sun therefore blocking the light of the sun from reflecting off the moon and makes the moon dark which means that if you're on the moon at the time of a lunar eclipse on Earth then Earth is blocking the sun from the moon and on the moon, it's a solar eclipse.
When a solar eclipse does sunlight penetrate the umbra?
In a solar eclipse, no sunlight penetrates the umbra. This is because the umbra is basically the shadow of the Earth, so in this case, the Earth is receiving the sunlight from the Sun, while both the umbra and moon are in the dark.
What occurs when earth is in a direct line between the sun and the moon?
A LUNAR Eclipse. This occurs at Full Moon. A lunar eclipse changes the moon's reflective light from 'bright white' to a dull 'grey/red' light. This is the Rayleigh effect. During a partial lunar eclipse, the curved shadow between light and dark is the shadow of the Earth upon the Moon. Moon Do not confuse with Solar Eclipse, when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth (New Moon). NNB Solar Eclipse ; Sun - Moon - Earth (New Moon) Lunar Eclipse ; Sun - Earth - Moon. (Full Moon).

What is a lunor Eclipse?

What does Eclipse mean in science?
An eclipse is the word used to describe an astronomical phenomenon in which the Sun, Earth and Moon happen to line up sufficiently for the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon (a lunar eclipse) or the Moon's shadow to fall on the Earth (a solar eclipse). A lunar eclipse can be seen from half the Earth at once - the dark half. A solar eclipse has a more limited viewing area because the Moon is relatively small. Therefore although lunar and solar eclipses are equally frequent, it appears to anyone in a fixed geographical position that lunar eclipses are more frequent.
What is seen in a lunar eclipse?
In a lunar eclipse, you see the full Moon pass into the shadow of the Earth. Like anything going into the shadow, it becomes dark for a little while.
What happens in the lunar eclipse?

What do you call the dark shadow cast by the earth on the moon during lunar eclipse?
The dark shadow cast by the Earth on the Moon during a lunar eclipse is called the umbra. This is the central and darkest part of the shadow where the light from the Sun is completely blocked.
What is rarer to happen solar eclipse or lunar eclipse?
A lunar eclipse can be seen from anywhere on the dark half of the Earth. A solar eclipse can be seen only from a strip 3000 miles wide, approximately the diameter of the Moon. So it seems that solar eclipses are less frequent.
Where would you be on earth if you saw a total lunar eclipse?
In the dark? You can only see a total eclipse on the night side of the Earth. But total lunar eclipses happen every year or so, somewhere around the world.
